Is it just me or in the first picture Brad Pitt is the only one who doen't fake a smile.

Also those 'smiles' look psychotic as fuck, if I don't know any better I'd think they're belong to a mental institution.

Nah, this is classic body language stuff. I noted that a while back in another thread: people's growing inability to project genuine smiles, which would involve empathy with others and subtle understanding of emotions in reaction to the stimulus of others. I used that Oscar picture as an example. They're acting, and extremely-badly, which is ironic, given the venue.

Brad's is genuine - he's doing the alpha-as-fuck half-smile, where you curl one side of your lip up. Classic Connery.

- If the eyebrows raise rather than move subtly outwards, it's fake.

- If both rows of teeth are showing, it's fake.

- If one or both corners of the mouth don't slightly or strongly curl up, it's fake.

If you're a younger guy, learn how to genuinely smile: it will project charisma and confidence to girls, and they will sense there's something 'different' about you. You can also tell when a girl is politely-tolerating your company and move onto a better target.

For illustration:



The girl on McQueen's right is 'performing' for the camera but the slight curl at the corners of her lips mean she's having a good time underneath the act.

The hottie to McQueen's immediate left is a genuinely-happy girl, having a blast. I often think Feminists try to stop women smiling for men, because it enhances their beauty and is infectious, and they don't want female power to come from a place of beauty.

The girl to McQueen's far left appears self-conscious compared to the other two, and the smile is less natural, though it's possible the spontaneous, non-selfie nature of party photography caught her mid-expression.

If anyone needs further confirmation McQueen knows his shit, the vast majority of women in his recent 'outing' article are smiling-genuinely. This is a guy who knows how to cultivate that vibe for a girl.

Contrast with narcissists with no chemistry, faking having a good time for their imagined audience:



Raised eyebrows, mouths subtly curling down, she's showing both rows of teeth.



Ghastly, inhuman expressions.



Babies smile like this because they haven't yet learnt to identify and mimic human emotions via empathy.
